Animating Both Old and New School

Over the past several months I've been whipping my digital 3D art skills into serious shape, and recently I've shifted my focus to animation. Over the years, it seems I've taken a crack at every kind of animation-oriented software you can imagine, be it from Milkshape to 3DS Max , or from Clickteam's products to those of Adobe … but now as I tinker and familiarize with the animation idiosyncrasies of Lightwave Layout , I find that the challenge of my focus is not simply on what or where to click .

However, in the interest of keeping people posted on what I've been up to over my current holiday break, aside from beating MK vs DC at least once a day on the 360 and working on an illustration project for a good friend, I've also been continuing my quest to beef up my 3d art skills. The images below represent recent works in progress and are pretty much just for fun... but feel free to enjoy and offer feedback nonetheless. :) Gundammit all! :P Breaking down the concept: "pretty boy" Gotta get him some better hair plugs. :) .
